Pharmacogenetics in Clinical Practice: Focus on Opioids

Register

Prescribing based on a patient’s pharmacogenetic profile offers the opportunity to decrease the risk of adverse effects and drug interactions before the patient ever takes the medication. We will review basic concepts in pharmacogenetics, discuss how pharmacogenetic variants impact opioids, and review patient cases.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:  

  • Describe the impact of pharmacogenetic variations on drug metabolism
  • Predict potential opioid adverse events based on a patient’s pharmacogenetic profile
  • Predict potential opioid drug interactions based on a patient’s pharmacogenetic profile
